"Elver and team were prompt and thorough. Another contractor told me I'd have to rip out drywall at considerable expense. Elver handled it as a repair job and the wall looks good as new."

"OMG!!! I can?t say enough good things about Mendoza?s . We started the project at the end of March, & we?re so close to finishing soon. They were originally only supposed to do drywall, but Mr Mendoza took over my WHOLE project and helped me complete my entire building. He was incredibly helpful in making sure we got what we needed, stayed on schedule, & under budget. The paint job was perfect, & regret not finding him for the first part of my building. They handled the framing, electrical, drywall and the paint. It was completely flawlessly. If you want someone who will care about your business or any type of project like it?s their own, hire Mendoza!"

"Diego was the person that assisted us for our fence to be stained. He was very professional and knowledgeable about what needed to be done. He recommended the perfect products to be used and the price was unbeatable. The fence was done beautifully! I will be going back to Uribe and Sons again for any other project I need done."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

There shouldn’t be any gaps between your walls and ceiling. These can be fixed with joint compound but that is only a fix, and it’s much better if your drywall fits correctly in the first place. Sometimes gaps can appear if your foundation shifts significantly but if this is the case, you have a much bigger problem than patching drywall.

Plaster ceilings can sag for several reasons. In some cases, the plaster and other building materials shift and come apart over time, which is why you’ll commonly find drooping plaster ceilings in older homes. Improper installation, foot traffic, and water damage—often from a leaky roof or a broken pipe—can also cause plaster ceilings to sag.

You should stagger drywall sheets to help prevent cracking. The joints between drywall sheets are the weak spots, so if you install drywall with seams aligned, you’ll create weak lines that run across the length of the wall and extend from floor to ceiling. But when you stagger drywall, the solid sections of panels will support the joints. This can prevent seams from cracking or separating due to fluctuating temperature and humidity, vibrations from movement inside the home, and gravity.

Look for flaking paint or air bubbles that burst and then flake away. Paint will begin to flake after being exposed to minimal moisture or water, so it’s a good indicator of any water damage. If you notice your paint starting to flake, feel the plaster underneath to see if it is soft or damp.
